[edit] History

The earliest predecessor of Delta Lloyd, the Hollandsche Societeit van Levensverzekeringen, was founded in 1907. In 1967 it merged with the Amsterdamsche Maatschappij van Levensverzekeringen and was renamed Delta. And in 1969 Delta merged with NedLloyd (not to be confused with the shipping company of the same name). In 1973 all shares in Delta were bought by the British firm Commercial Union (now Aviva).

In 1999 Delta Lloyd merged with Ohra. The company was renamed Delta Lloyd Group in 2002.

ABN AMRO Verzekeringen is a joint venture between ABN AMRO and Delta Lloyd, giving Delta Lloyd the exclusive right to sell insurance through ABN AMRO offices. It had a revenue of €900 million in 2006. However, ABN AMRO was bought in 2007 by Fortis, which also sells insurance, thus bringing the future of this joint venture in doubt. For Delta Lloyd this joint venture represents a vital means of selling insurances. Fortis has indicated that they wish to continue the joint venture.
